“If we have information on any significant power faction or candidate in a globally significant election campaign, we publish it.”

Speaking at the same press conference in Berlin, WikiLeaks journalist Sarah Harrison mentioned reports that emerged this week involving allegations Clinton considered "a drone strike on Assange" at the embassy.

Assange had previously cancelled a press conference from the balcony of his residency on Hans Cres, saying that there were “security concerns”.

BIRTHDAY: Wikileaks in now 10 years old.

In 2010 Assange was accused of having sex with a woman while she was asleep after the two met at a Stockholm conference.

He took refuge in the Ecuador embassy which granted him political asylum in 2012 after he lost a legal battle to block his extradition to Sweden.

Assange has always maintained the allegations are false and has refused to travel to Stockholm for questioning.

He believes Sweden will hand him over to the US to stand trial for espionage, which could include the death penalty.
